AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently registers as roadworthy, having passed the 10 July 2026 MOT at 61,394 miles. The most recent test cleared the nearside front anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint and both front track‑rod dust‑cover defects recorded on the 9 July 2026 failure, indicating that remedial work was completed before the re‑test. Earlier failures show a pattern of front suspension dust‑cover wear (2025‑09‑15 and 2026‑07‑09) and a serious front brake‑disc weakening in 2025, but no recurring structural or rust‑related issues, suggesting a generally stable maintenance trend after those items were addressed. Mileage has risen from 8,693 miles in July 2019 to 61,394 miles in July 2026, averaging roughly 6,100 miles per year. The increments between tests are modest – for example, 21,887 miles in June 2020 to 35,545 miles in June 2021, then to 48,231 miles in August 2022 – indicating steady, moderate use rather than periods of high mileage accumulation. No large mileage gaps appear, and the record shows regular annual testing, reinforcing a consistent usage pattern. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front suspension, concentrating on the nearside anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint and the off‑ and nearside track‑rod dust‑covers, as these components have required attention in the last two years. Inspection of the front brake discs for any residual weakening, despite the 2025 replacement, is advisable, as well as a check for any lingering exhaust flexi leaks noted in 2024 and 2023. Confirm that the offside headlamp aim remains within specification and scan for any signs of corrosion or wear on the chassis that could indicate underlying structural concerns. A thorough visual and functional assessment of these areas will confirm whether the recent remedial work has restored the vehicle to a reliable state.
